About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At night, when the clinic doors were locked and the street lights dimmed, a mysterious voice began echoing over the intercom: ‘Your pet is calling for you…’ No one knew who or why, but soon enough, every late-night delivery driver swore they heard it too. One evening, an exhausted delivery driver dozed off in his truck outside the clinic. Suddenly, he jolted awake hearing the familiar voice: ‘Your package is purring for you.’ He burst out laughing, realizing it was just a sleep-deprived imagination—and promptly ordered himself some much-needed coffee.

2. At night, when the clinic doors were closed and the parking lot empty, a strange voice would occasionally crackle over the intercom: ‘All pets must stay inside their carriers until further notice.’ One night, a delivery driver pulled up to the nearly dark parking lot. Hearing the eerie message, he laughed it off but decided to check the intercom. To his surprise, a sleepy voice replied, 'Just making sure your dog doesn’t escape again.' The next morning, everyone found out that the vet’s new AI system had been testing its announcement capabilities on an unsuspecting neighborhood.

3. At night, when the clinic doors were closed and the parking lot empty, a strange humming sound would occasionally echo through the streets. It seemed to come from inside the building, but no one could explain its origin. One evening, a delivery driver pulled up to the deserted parking lot, thinking he heard something odd. As he approached the clinic, the hum grew louder—then suddenly stopped as soon as he switched on his headlights. Turning around, he saw nothing but shadows, realizing it was just an old air-conditioner kicking into life. He laughed, shook his head, and drove off, muttering, ‘Must be good for those furry patients!’

4. At night, when the clinic doors were closed and the parking lot empty, a strange howling could be heard from behind the building. A delivery driver passing by swore he saw a shadow darting between parked cars. One night, a neighbor claimed she saw a ghostly figure in a white lab coat wandering around the clinic's perimeter. When the staff investigated, they found only their friendly receptionist, Dr. Jones, who had just finished watching 'Ghostbusters' and was reenacting her favorite scene.
